Academic Options
Students have the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary studies through the Wharton School and one of the three other Penn undergraduate schools. There are four coordinated dual-degree programs affiliated with Wharton in which students earn two degrees within an integrated curriculum: the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business; the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology; Nursing and Health Care Management Program; and the Roy and Diana Vagelos Life Sciences and Management Program.
Current Wharton students may choose to pursue a dual degree with the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science or the School of Nursing. In order to apply for dual-degree status, you must complete an application at the Undergraduate Division Office. You may apply for dual-degree status at the end of your second, third, and/or fourth semesters of full-time study. You should speak to an advisor in both schools for more information.
Wharton students may also elect to pursue a minor in one of the other undergraduate schools. Minors typically consist of 6-8 classes and students are not required to apply for dual-degree status. Courses taken for the minor may count toward some of the liberal arts and science curricular requirements within Wharton.
